One thing I notice in a death metal band, other than the brutal pounding double bass and hard speedy guitar riffs, is the vocals. I respect death metal vocals more than any other vocal style known and I practice day in and day out trying to improve my death voice. I prefer extremely deep and demonic vocals that sounds like someone is trying to hork up Satan and bitch-slap the guy. Here's a small list of my favorite singers:
1. Nathan Gearhart -Vehemence
2. Travis Ryan -Cattle Decapitation
3. Matt Harvey -Exhumed
4. John Gallagher -Dying Fetus
5. Lord Worm -old Cryptopsy

Don't bother, a mod can move it if necessary.

Ross Dolan kicks the fuck out of anyone. And coming in close second with a red-ass, is Luc Lemay from Gorguts, and following behind him in third is Leonard from Cephalic Carnage.

For you stupid cunts who don't know who the fuck Dolan is.....i pity you.....he's Immolation's singer.

I find it really odd as to how many people really dislike Chuck's singing.......i don't think i ever had a problem with it, and my favorite type of singing is immense brutality lowness.

I don't really classify Chuck's vocals as Death Metal.......nor do i really consider Death a Death Metal band (even with the incredible irony). I think of Death more as a thrash band, or possibly just traditional Heavy Metal that paved the way for Death Metal. With this in mind, i think Chuck's singing is probably the best possible for his music.

I can't believe only one person said Nathan Gearhart from Vehemence was good. He's great. If you haven't heard Vehemence, I highly suggest you do so. Plus Travis Ryan from Cattle Decapitation is very impressive.

That is because Vehemence aren't exactly big. Not many people have heard them.

Spawn of Possession vocalist is a great one... the first singer was the drummer but now i've heard they've hired a guy for touring... anyway i wonder if he ever did a show playing his fucking incredibly technical drums AND singing ???

Mike Disalvo should be in a hardcore band... anyway cryptopsy recently changed their singer 2 times i think... i hope its for the best

On the Chuck critisizm I would have to disagree. I think he has a fantastic voice. Unlike most extreme metal vocalists, he can really express his emotions which is rare in this monotone vocal genre.

Id like to also say that I cut my finger and it hurts really fucking bad.

On the chuck issue... I think chuck's vocals are/were great. I dont consider them death metal though, not on the more recent albums anyway. But i like the vocals most on symbolic.
As for angela, i never really considered her vocals as death metal... but i guess now that i think about it they are.

Atifman: heres a better question. How many chicks can do what she does and look the way she does at the same time? heh. I havnt seen much of her but the picture in the Wages of sin album is damn hot!!

There's no way in hell that could be processed, Maybe for the new Chatic Matrix album, but Unmercyful Extermination is 100% pure, no additives except for mastering and mixing the tracks.

Btw, he does vocals for Divine Empire too, you might wanna check that band out if you like his vocals so much

I've been doing vocals for around 13/14 years. The first 2 were hard, but after that and now to this day, I can do some pretty fucked up shit...Only if you guys could hear me!...
I could sound pretty close to the following singers..
1.John Tardy
2.Barney Greenway
3.Maurizio Lacono..
4.Accidental Suicide's :Ed..
5. Sometimes...Glen Benton...

I have to wait till next week or so for my band/music info to show
up on a website.....until that's accomplished....then you can hear
my demonic voice from hell.....

I never liked Karl Sanders as a vocalist, he pronounces words weird and it's hard to hear what he's saying even if you have the lyrics in front of you (i think how clear you can hear the lyrics is a factor in deciding how good a deathmetal vocalist is)

Correct...but Jasons vocals on Eternal own any of hoffmans work Divine Empire does kick ass, and I highly recommend them to any death metal fans. Their songs are a bit shorter than most bands, keeping it kinda fresh. His vocals still rule to... He does a lot more high pitched screaming, instead of just the low stuff in MC.

Speaking of pronouncing words weird, the singer of Graveworm does it to the extreme. I heard them cover Christian Woman by Type O Negative (a song I know every word to.) I tried to like it but I had to laugh. Instead of "wall" he said it like"wallll..e" and fall was "fallll..e." He puts a "e" after every word. But other than than that he is a really good deep vocalist.

mY FRIEND cASIDY (whos a chick) can growl like John Gallagher, she did vocals in my other band called Cerebral Regurgitation but she quit because she didn't have anytime from school and work to go jam.

Also here are some more dope vocalists:
-The guys from Gorerotted
-MOrtal Decay's vocalist
-Guttural Secrete's vocalist
-Vomit Remnant's vocalist
-Woundeep's vocalist
-Matt from Spawn
-Pete from Vader
-Robinson from Decrepit Birth
-Sven from Aborted
-Fleshgrind's vocalist (even during the old days he even used those sick vox while others were trying to get more audiences by making the lyrics easier to hear)

It has probably been mentioned before, but Juan Urteaga (Vile) does a damn great job. Also the guy in Severed Savior. I saw this band live during the Bloodletting tour and the vocalist is awesome, he's got a much more powerful voice than on the actual cd's.

EDIT : Oh yeah, and I think one of the worst singer ever is the guy in Macabre (only when he's screaming like a girl).

Too bad Juan left, he was an amazing vocalist.

Haha, I just noticed I've told 2 people that the vocalist from Devourment is Ruben Rosas in this thread.

Yeah, speaking of Vile, do they still exist ? Do you know if they'll continue touring or something ? I've heard the shit about two or three members leaving the band... that's really sad. It is (or was) one of my favourite bands.

Yep, Aaron Strong (guitars) and Juan Urteaga left. They have been replaced now. James Lee (vocalist for Origin) does the vocals live now. They are still going on strong, though. I'm not sure about them touring. My guess is they'll take a break after touring for the lengthy amount on time that they did with Cannibal Corpse and all those other bands.

Yeah, you're probably right. If Colin Davis is still there with the guy from Origin, I expect a lot from them in the future...

Jay from Lust of Decay is a awesome vocalist. He sounds a little like John from Dying Fetus but I like Jay better. He pulls off some awesome gruts. Festering Anal Vomit is a awesome song.

Dissection: As far as I know, the only album off of Edge of Sanity I've seen Mikael on is Crimson I, making a guest appearance along with a few others. By the way, I envy you for hearing Mikael on his Katatonia appearances, none of the cd stores around here carry the older ones What albums by Katatonia does he appear on?
Drag the Waters: I love Mikaels Vocals on Bloodbath, especially their new one, Ressurection through Carnage. The lyrics aren't THAT desireable, but they're far from the worst lyrics I've ever heard. Of the lyrics i like off of RTC is " So you die " because its so fucking blunt.

Favorite metal singers:
Mikael Akerfeldt for his range and talent,
Dan Swano for the same.
Vital Remains Glen Benton for being so pissed.
Early Obituary- Especially Slowly we Rot
Sadis Euphoria
Exhumed especially for the gutteral brutality
Dissection
And last but not least Anata. If you haven't heard Anata then I strongly Reccommend, for the music AND the vocals.

As I Lay Dying
From Autumn to Ashes
Between the Buried and Me
It Dies Today

I know some don't care for the metalcore scene, but these bands have impressive death vocals. I like metalcore if its done the right way. It must have the double bass, melody, and some screams now and then. (to much gets on my nerves)

Best Death Metal Vocalist of All Time? Chris Barnes, no question. His voice is one of the only ones in death metal with true anger. Sure, some are lower and can sing faster.....none of them are better.

I think he sucks balls. There are better guys out there that can sound angrier.

Chris was better in Cannibal Corpse, but I like "Corpse Grinder" more. This may be off the subject a bit but; was Monstrosity any good with George Fisher? I heard he is better than the new guy.

Oh yeah, Six Feet Under does suck.

I totally agree... Chris Barnes sounds like he's trying to hard to make the low vocals. I like Nihilist's vocalist, he is pretty cool. Prostitute Difigurement's vocalist is sick, and so is Retch's, I can't beleive those vocals aren't processed.

Deeds of Flesh is awesome. But musically they seem odd to me. The guitars aren't loud enough, I hear the vocals and the drums over them. But of what I can hear, its pretty awesome. (very talented)

Are u telling me to listen to Deeds Of Flesh? their vocals aren't really sick, the vocals are just good ol' death metal growls, but I do love the way bassist screams.

The guitars are very complex too, which really bring out the vocals. I dont know why the vocals would have to be "sick," nor do i understand what the hell that even means, but i think the guy can sing great for Death Metal.
